Proactive doesn't work for everyone. If you are already on a antibiotic, then your acne is more severe than what Proactive can handle. Go to the dermatologist and have the prescripe something for you.

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!
Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:
1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.
There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

You can google the name Proactive and find places to buy it. My daughter used it. It did help her. For me I used a system. Three times a day First clean with Noxema, then with Sea breese both found at Walmart. Then wait about an hour wash with soap and water. Do this three times a day and in a week or so your acne should be alot better. Good luck,

I think you have to order that over the phone, just type pro-active in google I'm sure you'll get the information you need. I've heard mixed reviews on that pro-active. Though everyone I know who used or uses it says it works wonders, until you stop using it and a few say it seemed like their acne was worse, but I wonder did they get so use to the results that it seemed worse once they stopped. Good Luck acne sucks no matter what age you are!

You can order proactiv, from their website... www.proactiv.com And I believe you can order it from QVC as well. It is an acne medicine for people of all ages. It not only clears up acne but makes your skin feel great. I recently started using it and its great.
The website can definitely give you some more in depth information about the products.

Just use Vitamin E cream and take vitamins internally. I'm 17, so as you could imagine, I get pimples very frequently. Just practicing over-all health and putting natural suppliments on the pimples has made all the difference, so give it a try - It's better than a lot of what's out on the market.

Proactive is just a skin treatment for acne, from where I am you have to order it but I'm not so sure where you can get it. Just check with a dermatologist and acne isn't just on teens.

If proactive doesn't work try some procedure called Levulan. They flash a light at you per treatment for 10 minutes. It s expensive but it works. and You don't have to take yucky pills.

Go to Pro-activ's website. It works very well, I had it. IT's basically just a 3 step system. If you live near a Walmart, they have a acne system there called Acne Free. Acne Free is cheaper then Pro Activ and works just as well.

if you have really bad acne, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your doctor about Accutane. its alot of trouble to get (causes severe birth defects so women are required by law to get a pregnancy test every time you get a refill) and not cheap, but it works like nothing else
